protecting my new smart phone

My new Nokia came with a "gorilla glass" screen, supposedly no extra protection required......I did put a body glove on it and then have a belt case it will fit into with the body glove.

Short of a foam padded box made of 1/4 inch steel plates, with welded on hinges for the 1/4 inch steel plate that covers the screen when closed, there's only so much you can do.

I know nothing about that particular smart phone, as I don't have one. But I do have an iPod Touch with a similar screen to protect, and I found early on that Zagg shield film does a really excellent job of protecting from scratches. About a week after I bought my first iPod Touch, and before I put the film on it, I dropped it behind a pile of gym mats, so that it slid face first down the cinderblock wall behind the 4 foot high stack of mats. Guaranteed to scratch the screen, and it did. I was annoyed. I've had two other iPods after that one, both with the Zagg film on them, and their screens have benefitted greatly from being unscratched to this day. In spite of there being no improvement in my co-ordination or tendency toward the dropsies.

If you're hard on a phone like I am, the Otterbox Defender may be what you need.

It has a screen cover that will protect from liquids and scratches. It is rugged and provides very good protection. It is bulky, but I don't think you can protect well and not be bulky.

Since you've already ordered a case, this advice might be too late. I would recommend a screen protector - any of them will provide some level of protection against scratches. Look for a clear one. In my experience the matte finishes are horrible and mute your nice screen resolution.
